A Jamaican-American orthopedic surgeon based in Florida, United States, who is also the designer of costly spinal surgery implants, was arrested on Tuesday and charged with paying millions of dollars in kickbacks and bribes to surgeons who agreed to use his company's devices.

Dr Kingsley R Chin, 57, of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Buff Bay, Portland in Jamaica, is the founder, chief executive officer and owner of SpineFrontier, a device company based in Malden, Massachusetts.

Chin is also a past student of Titchfield High School in the parish of his birth, and according to his LinkedIn profile, earned an academic-athletic scholarship and immigrated to the United States.

He went on to pursue his academics at top-ranked US universities, including Columbia University, Havard Medical School, and the University of Pennsylvania.

he spewed a fair amount of BS - he had an academic scholarship to Columbia.
That said he was a very good footballer, but he was always going to bite off more than he could chew. Very sad.
